THE HEMORRHAGE VERY SEVERE, But HIS PHYSI-
CLAN HOPES FOR HIS RECOVERY.


CLAN HOPES FOR HIS RECOVERY.
General Master Workman Powderly became
sick in Providence, X. l., on Saturday evening"
The attack did not prevent him from starting for
home, where he arrived at 1:35 Monday afternoon.
Before leaving New York he sent a telegram to his
family, instructing them to have carriage ready
and physician In attendance when he arrived.
When he reached Scranton he was quite weak
having been stricken with a severe hemorrhage OF
the lungs ON a Fall River steamer on Long Island
Sound. He was quickly conveyed TO his home
where DR.. Allen, his family physician, was In
waiting. The doctor remained with Mr.. Powderly
the greater part OF the afternoon. Mr.. Powderly's
condition was serious until an early hour Thurs
day morning. Then he rallied. He is
still very much enfeebed, and nobody ex-
cept his physician and family Is allowed
to see him. DIR. Allen says that Mr.. POwderly
is tired and worn out and that his attack was due
TO his constant travelling by rail and water, and
the great extent of the work and the lecturing he
has been doing. The doctor has directed that Mr..
Powderly shall remain quiet for a few days and
thinks that with the rest gained thereby he will
soon recover. Mr. Powdery has suffered consid-
erably heretofore from QulnSy and other throat
difficulties, but his present Illness was the most
sudden and severe that he has any time under
gone. For a time IL was thought he could not sur
vive but at o'clock last evening his physician re-
ported that he was greatly improved with fair
prospects OF ultimate recovery. lie Is now able TO
sit up for an hour or so at a time and cOnverSeS
with intimate friends who call to see him.

The Fisheries Negotiations.

WILL SETTLEMENT BIZ FINALLY REACHED?-CREDIT-
ABLE STAND OF THE AMERICAN REPRESENTATIVES.
Aspeciai to the New York Times to-day says
that enough is learned about the progress OF the
fishery negotiations to justify the conclusion that
satisfactory settlement may yet be reached II
1t Is not, and the negotiations should be broken
on at the point reached, the American COM
missioners are in O position every way
creditable TO them and honorable TO the
country they represent 1t seems that at the out
mitted a protocol requesting OF Great Britain
the admission OF full commercial rights to
American vessels In Canada, and the placing OF
all American and Canadian vessels on an equal
footing for rights as to the navigation OF the
harborS OF both the dominion and the United
states. This was met by Sir Charles Topper,
who has been the mouthp1ece most OF the
time for the British commissioners, with q
proposition TO not only concede the unrestricted
sells but also TO consent to permit Americans 10
enjoy the privileges OF the Onshore fisheries,
provided the Americans Will approve a new
treaty OF reciprocity based upon the lines OF
the treaty OF 1854. To this the American
commissioners demurred. They maintain that
the rights for which the United states contends
are naturally rights which they cannot under
take TO buy. The inShOre fisheries they do not
care for, and II they did they could not for a
moment consider the proposit n9 TO Pur,
the sale the rights for which they are now COLI
tending. Sir Charles Upper, 1t Is understood, was
determined to insist upon a reciprocity treaty or
no treaty. The commissioners for the United
states were willing TO submit the proposition for
recognition OF equal commercial prlvi-
leges to arbitration. After the Canadian
representative had exhausted his argument
10 secure consent TO convention agreeing
TO an exchange OF fish, lumber and other products,
the Americans standing firmly against anything
Ike an attempt TO argue them Into sale or
rights, IL was decided 10 take recess long enough
10 enable the British commissioners 10 visit
Canada and make further study Of the situation
from the Canadian STANDPOINT.
dispatch from Chicago states that Sir Charles
Topper expressed himself 10 a reporter there as
pleased by the great cordiality with which he and
MIR. Chamberlain have been received In Washing
ton and the indications that senators and Con-
greSsrnen are disposed to consider the matters
with which the commission has 10 deal in spirit
OF liberal craftsmanship. He inclineS TO the
belief that there is III tie LETT now OF the feeling of
irritation that inspired the non-intercOurse and re-
taliatiOn movement or last winter, and entertainS
the hope that the more tranquil condition Of pub
lie sentiment now prevailing on this side OF the
line and the Often-eXpreSsed Willingness OF Canada
to make any fair and reasonable concessions may
enable the commissioners to bring their labor5 to
satisfactory close and secure for the result the
approval OF the treaty-making authority.
